They’ll be up against an Arsenal side sitting at the summit, with seven wins from eight.
Mikel Arteta’s charges have also won both of their Europa League games so far this term.
And Saka has once again played a big part in Arsenal’s impressive form.
The Hale End graduate has one goal and four assists in the Premier League this term.
Klopp, speaking to the Liverpool media team, lauded Saka ahead of Sunday’s match.
“Saka… oof,” he said, as transcribed by Sportbible. “Since the first day he played he’s been incredible.”

As good as Saka is, he’s not the only threat that the Reds will have to contend with, by far.
Arsenal have put together a superb team, and the likes of Gabriel Jesus, Gabriel Martinelli and Martin Odegaard can all cause trouble.
In addition, the Gunners have a strong midfield, with Thomas Partey and Granit Xhaka in superb form.
